About Jeffrey Boakye: Jeffrey Boakye was born in Brixton in South London. He has taught English to 11- to 18-year-olds since 2007, first in London and now in Yorkshire. Jeffrey has a particular interest in issues surrounding race, education and popular culture.
About ‘Kofi and the Rap Battle Summer’: Kofi is used to stuff going wrong, he’s usually in detention or about to be. But when he finds out his best friend Kelvin has a photographic memory, he comes up with a genius money-making scheme. The whole school is obsessed with music, no one can ever make out the words, so the boys hit the jackpot selling a new fanzine full of song lyrics: PAPER JAM. It’s not long before one of the teacher’s tells Kofi: ‘You could be a real leader at this school, you know that?’ and . . . suddenly it’s turning out to be the best summer ever!
